Your 2024 year of travel in review

[Mattg]

It's time for the annual AFF "year in review" thread. (For reference, this was last year's: 2023 - Year In Review)

This year, a lot of companies including Qantas have emulated Spotify with their "2024 wrapped" emails. So it's only fitting that AFF members do the same. This thread is an opportunity to share your travel stats and your new, best and worst flight experiences for 2024!

Here are my stats for 2024:

• Number of flights: 94 (63 Y, 5 PE, 26 J)
• Countries visited: 43 (including 21 new ones)
• New airports visited: DUB, LCY, LEJ, IGU, EZE, FTE, REL, AEP, UIO, PBM, PTY, AUA, MDE, SJO, GUA, FRS, XPL, SAL, MGA, TPE, UBN, SJJ, SKP, BLQ, RNS, NTE, NCE, BRE, KEF, LPQ, VTE
• New airlines flown: FlyArystan, Flybondi, Aerolineas Argentinas, Copa Airlines, Wingo, TAG Airlines, EVA Air, MIAT, Scoot, Air France, Icelandair
• New aircraft type flown: Boeing 787-10
• Best flight: KLM from AMS-PBM on a Boeing 777 in J
• Worst flight: SAL-MGA on an awful Avianca A320 in Y which was completely full and ran late, arriving in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm

TripIt does some of the heavy lifting for stats! It produced a few individual screens and this summary (although I’m still travelling!).

1. four new countries
2. New airports: MVD, PRG, BUD
3. New airline: Ryanair! (Flew yesterday PRG-BUD)…

Must try harder for 2025!
